Dude, the fact that there is not a designated staffer with the sole task of faking a heart attack every time the President starts his remarks with “I’m not going to read the prepared speech” is just a failure of leadership at this point.

 Russell Simmons is like one of those creepy old black pastors that used to be a street Hustler when he was younger and just figured out that God is the most powerful drug of all. Always thought he was a shady piece of shit, can’t say I’m glad I’m right though

As far as the 36 female Franken-supporting staffers (say that 5x fast), isn’t it likely that most of them wouldn’t be current workers there, especially if they worked with Franken way back when?

I’m not justifying this behavior.

I think the issue is that he can’t make it stick permanently without broad support from the student body.

Hollywood’s weird.

The way people get so bumfuzzled about the “he said/she said” nature of some sexual assaults is mind boggling to me. It’s as if the listener, for the time and space of hearing the sexual assault story only, utterly loses all sense of risk, motivation, and consequences.

We can still outlaw the manufacture of new weapons, and destroy any seized by the police at crime scenes or during regular arrests. If the state has knowledge that an individual owns a firearm, that person should be punitively fined until he or she hands it in. The policy doesn’t have to be perfect, but I’d consider…
